Edwards poured in 16 first-half points to help the Timberwolves build an early lead, which they extended to nearly 30 points by the midway point of the fourth quarter, in their second contest against Miami in the last three days. The combination of the score and a couple early fouls cut into Edwards’ minutes and prevented him from an even more impressive scoring performance as he was feeling it from long range, hitting 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. The 24-year-old franchise cornerstone has put together a phenomenal season, averaging 29.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks through 30 games.

Gobert notched his 15th double-double of the season and came within one board of matching his previous season-high mark. The 33-year-old veteran center has been a modest disappointment roughly midway through the year but he’s been a rebounding machine over the past two weeks, averaging 12 boards per-game during that seven-game span, while also chipping in 10.6 points and 2.4 blocks.

McDaniels threw down a couple monster dunks and fell just short of his fourth 20-point effort in the last month. The 25-year-old doesn’t offer immense scoring upside, but his all-around game translates extremely well for fantasy purposes. He’s produced sixth-round fantasy value, averaging 14.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks through 35 games.

Edwards is a late addition to the injury report for right foot injury maintenance. Tuesday’s matchup isn’t a leg of a back-to-back set, but Edwards is in danger of sitting this one out. If Ant-Man ends up on the sideline, Mike Conley and Bones Hyland should see increased playing time.

Risacher’s second season in the NBA has been rough, especially in recent weeks. However, prior to fouling out, this was actually a solid performance for him. He had an efficient shooting night and was able to provide four assists after totaling two assists over his last six games. Risacher is not worthy of a roster spot in standard leagues, but there is still upside for the 2024 No. 1 overall pick for dynasty managers.

Okongwu had one of his worst game of the season in Toronto on Saturday, but he was able to respond with a much better performance, though the result of the game was the same. As an undersized center, Okongwu hasn’t been a great rebounder this year, so this was only his ninth double-double of the season. This was a strong performance for him, and it has helped that he has remained the starter despite Kristaps Porziņģis being back in the lineup. As long as that continues, Okongwu will be an elite fantasy producer.

It was an inefficient night for Johnson, but he was still able to pour in the counting stats, which works out well for fantasy managers. He has still been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season since subpar shooting nights like this haven’t happened often, though the turnovers have been plentiful all season. He’ll look to get back on track against the Pelicans on Wednesday.

After a slow start to the season, Gobert has kicked things up a few notches in recent weeks. And that’s thanks mainly to increased production in the rebound, steal and blocked shot categories. Over the past two weeks, Gobert has averaged 11.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.6 blocks per appearance, providing top-40 per-game value in eight-cat formats. While his season-long fantasy value remains low, there’s light at the end of the tunnel for those who have Gobert rostered.

After shooting 50 percent or better from the field in each of his first ten appearances, Randle had not accomplished that in at least four consecutive games before this current stretch. Shooting 51.5 percent from the field, Randle has offered third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. That’s one round better than his value for the season to date. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 12, starting with the Heat on Tuesday.

Edwards and the Timberwolves weren’t challenged in Sunday’s game, with the team’s key contributors watching most of the fourth quarter from the bench. The Timberwolves’ guard has scored at least 30 points in three consecutive games, the first time he’s done so since late November. Edwards and the Timberwolves play four games in Week 10, starting with the Heat on Tuesday.

It’s become abundantly clear that Atlanta’s offense will continue to run through Johnson even with Trae Young back in the mix. He’s eclipsed 20 points in seven of his last nine games since December 18. The 24-year-old rising star has contributed first-round fantasy value this season, averaging 24.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks through 33 games. The Hawks are in line for a rematch against the Raptors on Monday before facing the Pelicans, Nuggets and Warriors to close out a four-game week.

Daniels put together one of his strongest shooting performances of the season, draining all seven of his first-half attempts while also dishing out seven assists during that span. He cooled off considerably in the second half, going just 2-of-6 from the floor. The 22-year-old defensive wizard’s numbers have been down considerably from a steals standpoint from last year, but he’s still delivered seventh-round value for fantasy purposes, averaging 11.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.6 blocks through 36 games.

Alexander-Walker knocked down 6-of-11 from three-point range and took 18 shots or more for the eighth time in his last 11 games since December 14.

Edwards knocked down just 2-of-8 from beyond the arc but got to the free throw line 14 times while recording his fourth 30-point performance in his last six games since December 23. The 24-year-old franchise cornerstone became the first player in league history to reach 1,200 career three-pointers before his 25th birthday. He’s delivered top-15 overall fantasy value this season, averaging 29.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks over 28 games. The Timberwolves have a quick turnaround with a matchup against the Wizards on Sunday before kicking off a four-game week facing the Heat, Spurs and Cavaliers twice.

Reid played a central role helping Minnesota build up a 19-point lead by the late stages of the fourth quarter, supplying 20 second-half points. The 26-year-old big man has been hot-and-cold from a scoring standpoint but he’s registered at least 29 points in two of his last three games. He should be able to take advantage of an extremely favorable matchup against the Wizards on Sunday.

Randle notched his 10th double-double of the season as the Timberwolves rebounded from an ugly loss to the Hawks earlier this week.

Daniels took on the task of defending Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, who had to work hard for his 24 points. The Great Barrier Thief’s defensive work only yielded two steals, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. From a fantasy standpoint, Daniels dished out eight assists, and managers also benefited from the six rebounds. He’s providing top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats, with the foul shooting (60.3 percent) being the most significant issue.

Once again starting for the injured Trae Young (quad), Alexander-Walker has scored 23 points or more in three of his last four appearances. Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing top-75 per-game value in nine-cat formats. Even if Young is available for Saturday’s game in Toronto, Alexander-Walker is worth considering in more 12-team leagues, and some 10-team leagues as well.

It’s safe to say that Okongwu likes playing against the Knicks. After hitting six three-pointers in Saturday’s home loss to New York, he hit three more in Friday’s road victory. Over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Even as Kristaps Porziņģis (4/8/2/2 in 17 minutes) works his way back from illness, Okongwu’s playing time and opportunities won’t be an issue. That’s excellent news for those who have him rostered.

After recording a double-double in seven straight appearances, Johnson posted his first triple-double since December 14, which was part of a streak of four consecutive triple-doubles. While the Hawks forward has been elite all season long, it’s no secret that his fantasy ceiling is raised when Trae Young (quad) is unavailable. Not only should Johnson be mentioned among the leading candidates for Most Improved Player, but he has also played well enough to deserve a trip to the All-Star Game.

Daniels hasn’t been as highly touted in fantasy basketball this season, mostly because his steals are down and his scoring has been rough. However, he has somewhat made up for it by averaging career highs in rebounds and assists, and he nearly recorded a triple-double in this game. This was a well-rounded performance for Daniels as he continues to thrive without Trae Young in the lineup.

These monster nights are becoming routine for Johnson. He missed Monday’s game with an illness, but the effects clearly didn’t linger enough to limit his production in this one. Johnson has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, and while his production hasn’t been limited when Trae Young is available, he has been at his best when Young isn’t playing. He’ll look to remain hot in New York on Friday.

After missing Atlanta’s last 10 games with an illness, Porziņģis was available off the bench in this game. In just 17 minutes, he was able to make a large impact. His last two appearances have been weeks apart, but in both games, he poured in the points in limited action. Hopefully he’ll remain available moving forward, but his health is worth keeping an eye on. Even if he remains a reserve for Atlanta, he’ll be a highly impactful option for fantasy managers.

It was an ugly game overall for Minnesota, but Randle joined Anthony Edwards (30 points) as the only starters to score in double figures. It wasn’t a spectacular outing for Randle, but he was one of the more productive Wolves in this game. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to carry over his assist production from their last game. He’ll look to help Minnesota get back on track in Miami on Saturday.

Edwards was able to have a big night, but he didn’t get much help from his team in the homecoming game. Only two other players scored in double figures for Minnesota, and one of them was Johnny Juzang, who only played the final seven minutes of this game. Edwards has been consistently dominant this season, and the Wolves haven’t been on the wrong end of blowouts often this year. Edwards will look to carry this production over into a matchup with Miami on Saturday.

Okongwu continues to thrive with Kristaps Porziņģis sidelined due to illness and he saw his role on the offensive end of the floor expand even further in this one with the Hawks missing Jalen Johnson, who has emerged as one of the game’s premier all-around players this season, due to illness. The 25-year-old big man has scored at least 23 points in three of his last five games since December 21.

Randle recorded the unconventional triple-double while Minnesota kicked off a four-game road trip by dishing out a season-high 14 helpers, reaching double-digit assists for the second straight contest.
